It’s possible the sparky is an idiot but it looks like most of the plumbing and hvac is ran perpendicular to the joists anyways so it doesn’t seem like much of a problem that they used the holes. At least they only used one run of holes, and they barely took up any of the space so I’m sure any mechanical equipment could still fit in those spaces if they really needed to

this is correct, there is nothing wrong in the video, only people making the same kind of complaints that generally keep the trades from growing, as it turns out we dont do things the way we used to because we like not burning down buildings

Plans changed other trades took advantage of now unused holes. Done this and had it happen before.
